Writing Podcasts from Get Paid to Write Online

So I’ve been promising myself to start doing writing podcasts. It was one of the technologies I vowed to master this year. I know it’s November (talk about leaving it till the last minute) but I’ve finally started podcasting properly. I did some test runs earlier in the year, which are still sitting on my hard drive (but what are a couple of failed podcasts among friends?)

This time around I’m using Spreaker, recommended to me by Ileane Smith of Basic Blog Tips and it’s very easy to get started. That has positives and negatives. On the plus side, I actually have two short podcasts (about 8 minutes each) on the site. On the minus side, I have not added any opening music or any of the bells and whistles that you usually get. I am sure they are important, but right now I think it’s more important to actually talk to you – so that’s what I’ve done.

If not, just click on the links to go to the writing podcasts on Spreaker. I plan to add to the list at regular intervals, with a mix of podcasts to go with popular posts, updates to posts and – gasp! – brand new stuff. Let me know what you think – and please forgive the rough edges.

I looked at doing podcasts via an online service like Spreaker or Soundcloud but opted to host them on my site only with the Blubrry Powerpress plugin, I created an intro theme that I attach to all my Podcast mp3 files and outtro music as well. I should look at Spreaker more closely though it has some amazing integration features with other services.
